[WA] Authorities Raid Spokane Medical Marijuana Dispensaries

Authorities Raid Spokane Medical Marijuana Dispensaries
April 28, 2011 - kxly.com



Chanting "DEA Go Away!" supporters of medical marijuana met DEA agents and other law enforcement officials as they were raiding a South Hill medical marijuana dispensary Thursday afternoon.

The DEA is raiding several medical marijuana dispensaries in Spokane in what Assistant US Attorney Tom Rice is describing as "Official Law Enforcement Action." Rice confirmed a raid was taking place at the THC Pharmacy in the South Perry District on the South Hill.

Club Compassion, located at 1004 E. Bridgeport, was also being raided by authorities. An eyewitness reported that a third medical marijuana dispensary, located at the intersection of Market and Peone, was being raided as well.

While not confirmed by law enforcement, podcaster Russ Belville aka "Radical Russ", was hosting a live call-in show online where he was updating a Google map showing the sites that were being raided.

Rice would not comment on the nature of the "enforcement action" except to stay that is illegal to possess or sell marijuana in the United States.

The Spokane Police Department acknowledged the situation in an e-mail from department spokesperson Jennifer DeRuwe which said, "Apparently the DEA is contacting local dispensaries today. They are the lead agency and should handle all the media. SPD may be on scene in a support role."

A Spokane Police patrol car was spotted parked in the driveway of THC Pharmacy.

Coincidentally, advocacy groups that support medical marijuana were in Spokane Thursday holding a medical marijuana raid preparedness class, according to website TokeofTheTown.com.

Seattle-based Cannabis Defense Coalition had scheduled raid preparedness classes across the state this week and a class was being held Thursday afternoon when they received word of the raid at THC Pharmacy.

That class was being held by two other advocacy groups, Americans for Safe Access and the National Organization for Reform of Marijuana Laws. The class was adjourned so the people attending could protest the raids.

On April 7, US Attorney Michael Ormsby said that marijuana stores violate federal law and they must close right away.

"The proliferation of marijuana stores, which are not authorized under state law, suggests that drug traffickers are attempting to avoid application of state law through the use of these stores," Ormsby said.

There are other locations being raided by authorities, but Rice would not confirm how many and where those locations are. There are 40 marijuana dispensaries in Spokane.

Ok, so it's like this; allot of us did this type of thing in a day and age where there would have been no questions asked by the police, and no mercy shown either. As far as I'm aware, there have been no actual arrests in any of these raids, just confiscated meds and maybe money too. Boo hoo. I mean, I get it, we should be outraged and protest and all that too make sure it doesn't go any further, but seriously, if you're not getting cuffed during your police raid, dragged into jail, charged with multiple felonies and looking down the barrel of a 10 year mms, then you're doing ok in my book. It's a plant, people grow it, there's no shortage of med grade buds in the west. Just saying.

How about next time instead of chanting at them someone tweets what's going on and five hundred people trickle in to be arrested for obstruction of justice by refusing to stay back?

One of the people on the news said he plans to just restock and open his doors back up tomorrow.

Let us not forget that Obama did promise not raid these legal dispensaries.

Calico Kahlia come tell me the news
Calamity's waiting for a way to get to her
Rosy red and electric blue
I bought you a paddle for your paper canoe

Say you'll come back when you can
Whenever your airplane happens to land
Maybe I'll be back here too
It all depends on what's with you

Don't you mean

So we should forget what that dumb monkey said.

He was probably too high to remember saying that. I bet he sent the Feds to go stock up on nugs for him and the ole lady. Fuckin hypocrite.
